It's Saturn!

Just a quick report this time....
Went out last night specifically to view Saturn. Viewable around 21:00 in the South-East, but waited until approx. 22:00 so it was higher and brighter, just left and down of Spica.
The rings looked really splendid and Titan was easily seen.The half Moon was making the sky really light so I think I will wait until the cycle completes before taking another look - which will also enable Saturn to gain a little height at an earlier time as well.All-in-all a great warmish night.
